Bastide du Roy is a historic French Riviera wedding venue in Antibes, set within Mediterranean gardens just 15 minutes from Nice Airport. Its defining quality is theatrical heritage: a private estate with royal associations, layered garden spaces, sea views and a sense of occasion that feels distinctly Côte d’Azur. Once gifted to King Henry IV, the estate has hosted royalty, artists and musicians over the centuries, including the Princely family of Monaco and the Rolling Stones. Today, it offers a highly atmospheric setting for weddings of up to 300 guests, moving between olive trees, fountains, courtyards, pavilions and terraces overlooking the Baie des Anges.

Ceremonies
Ceremonies at Bastide du Roy are defined by garden architecture and Riviera drama. The estate offers a sequence of outdoor spaces, each with its own mood, allowing the day to move through shade, water, views and historic stone.
The Music Garden
An amphitheatre-like setting centred around the Neptune Fountain, surrounded by greenery and the sound of water. It brings a formal, almost theatrical quality to the ceremony without feeling enclosed.
The French Garden
Shaded by centuries-old olive trees, with fountains, lavender and structured planting. This space feels softer and more intimate, with a distinctly Provençal character.
The Pool Area
Overlooking Biot and the Mediterranean coastline, the pool area offers a more open, view-led option. It works especially well for a ceremony or drinks moment shaped by sunset and sea air.
The ceremony experience here is not about minimalism. It is about movement, atmosphere and the sense of stepping into a storied Riviera estate.

Receptions
A wedding at Bastide du Roy feels grand, garden-led and highly social, with the celebration moving through a series of distinct outdoor and covered settings. The estate has enough scale for larger weddings, but its sequence of spaces keeps the experience from feeling static.
Cocktails often sit naturally in the French Garden or by the pool, where guests can move between shaded planting, fountains and views towards the Mediterranean. These spaces give the early part of the celebration a relaxed Riviera rhythm, with Champagne, music and the sense of being outdoors without feeling exposed.
Dinner can take place in the Cour d’Honneur, the estate’s main courtyard, where tables sit beneath lights with views over the Baie des Anges. The Tilleuls Area extends the reception outdoors, creating more room for dinner, dancing and late-night movement.
For couples who want shelter without losing the garden atmosphere, the Olive Trees Pavilion offers a covered alternative with transparent panels. It keeps the celebration visually connected to the estate while providing a practical option for weather or a more contained evening setup.
Staying on Site
ccommodation at Bastide du Roy is limited and reserved for the couple and their closest guests. The estate has five suites, sleeping up to 10 overnight guests.
Estate Suites
The suites overlook the gardens and pool, giving the stay a private, house-like feeling rather than a hotel experience. They are best suited to the couple, immediate family or a small wedding party.
Morning After
A private breakfast can be served on the terrace the following morning, offering a calm final moment on the estate before guests depart.
For wider wedding parties, additional accommodation is available in nearby hotels across Antibes, Cannes and the surrounding Riviera. The venue can provide recommended options and help with taxi arrangements.

Food & Atmosphere
Food at Bastide du Roy is caterer-led, giving couples flexibility to shape the dining experience around the style of the celebration. The venue works with a hand-picked list of recommended catering partners who understand the estate and its different event spaces.
The dining format can range from a formal seated banquet in the Cour d’Honneur to a more relaxed Provençal-style feast outdoors. A poolside barbecue or garden brunch can also be worked into a multi-day celebration, giving the weekend a less formal rhythm beyond the main wedding meal.
Because the venue is not tied to one in-house culinary style, the food can be tailored closely to the couple: refined, regional, celebratory or more relaxed. What anchors it is the setting — long tables, warm light, Mediterranean gardens and the architecture of the Bastide itself.
